Detailed information

Product description:	The First Guess Product of the monthly precipitation anomaly is based on interpolated precipitation anomalies from more than 6,000 stations worldwide. Data sources are synoptic weather observation data (SYNOP) received at DWD via the WMO Global Telecommunication System (GTS) and climatic mean (mainly 1951-2000, or other reference periods as described before) monthly precipitation totals at the same stations extracted from GPCCs global normals collection. An automatic-only quality-control (QC) is applied to these data. Since September 2003, GPCC First Guess monthly precipitation analyses are available within 5 days after end of an observation month. Main application purpose is to serve as input for near-realtime drought monitoring applications, e.g. by the FAO and the University of London Hazard Research Center (provided by the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre, GPCC).
